18-108 : Fees and costs.

  1. Application fee. Persons, businesses, or developers desiring water or wastewater utility service must make application with the town recorder and pay a non-refundable residential or commercial application fee. The superintendent shall investigate the feasibility of providing that service and report to the applicant with clear instructions regarding the town's requirements for providing that service.
  2. Tap fees.
    1. Before a new connection is made to the water or sewer system or an existing customer increases service requirements by expansion of the original served facilities, a tap fee shall be assessed and collected by the town. The tap fee is composed of two (2) parts: a connection charge and, if applicable, an installation charge.
    2. The connection charge is for the purpose of enabling the town to periodically upgrade its facilities as required by the addition of new customers. The connection charge is assessed whenever a new connection is made to the town system or an expansion of change is made to the original facilities served, which increases the demand on the sewer system.
    3. The installation charge is to cover the cost of tapping the main line and extending it to the property line for connection to the customer's services line. Service lines are installed by the customer to the town's specifications and must be inspected by the superintendent or his designee.
    4. Costs related to the extension of water and sewer mains and appurtenances are generally to be borne by the developer or the abutting property owners. (1994 Code, § 18-108)
